Maintenance of the seat belts and
pretensioners
• Following a collision of a certain severity,
replace the seat belts that were worn at
the time, even if they may not appear to
be damaged.
• Periodically check that the screws on the
anchoring points are tight and that the
belt is intact and slides smoothly.
• The belt must be kept clean; any dirt on
the belt could jeopardise the effi ciency of
the belt retractor.
• To clean the seat belt, wash it by hand
with mild soap and water and let it dry.
Do not use strong detergents, bleach or
aggressive solvents, as they can weaken
the fi bres.
Do not let the belt retractors get wet:
proper functioning is ensured only if they
are kept dry.
• The pretensioner requires no
maintenance or lubrication.
If immersed in water or mud, the
pretensioners must be replaced.
• The pretensioner must be replaced at
the intervals specifi ed in the “Warranty
Booklet and Maintenance Schedule”.
All work on any part of the safety
system components must be carried
out by the Ferrari Service Network .
It is not permitted to remove or make
modifi cations of any kind to the seat belts, belt
retractors and pretensioners.
Pretensioners
The pretensioners are activated in the event
of severe head-on collisions. The belt will
rewind a few centimetres just before the
restraining action begins, thereby ensuring
the proper fi tting across the body.
Activation of the pretensioners is indicated
by a warning light on the instrument panel
and by the seat belt locking.
After activation, the pretensioners no
longer function and they cannot be
repaired under any circumstances. Contact
the Ferrari Service Network to have
them replaced.
When the pretensioners are activated, a
small amount of smoke is released. This
smoke is not harmful and does not indicate
the presence of a fi re.
Maintenance work involving strong impacts,
vibrations or heating of the pretensioner area
may activate them. Vibrations caused by road
bumps will not have this effect.
Child safety
Because of their size, children are at greater
risk than adults. Suitable restraint or safety
systems must be used.
All minors whose physical characteristics
(i.e. height, weight) fall within the legal
limits in force in each country must be
protected by approved restraint or safety
systems (e.g., child seats, cradles, cushions).
In any case, you are advised to always
use homologated child restraint systems
bearing the proper test marking.
Always adjust the seat to the most rearward
position, in order to ensure that the child is
as far away as possible from the dashboard
structure.
Incorrect fastening of a child
restraint system increases the risk of
injury to the child in the event of a collision.
